CityCouncil | 2008-08-05 | 11 | The Supervising Planner responded in the negative; stated StopWaste does not have anything mandatory, but has the voluntary standards that are being considered tonight. Mayor Johnson inquired how the State code and StopWaste's model of voluntary guidelines differ. The Supervising Planner responded the State code looks at building efficiency; stated currently, Title 24 requires certain energy standards to be met; the new regulations increase Title 24; LEED and Build It Green are checklist approaches that look at the entire site, including landscaping and transit as well as construction; 15% above Title 24 is one requirement, however, the approach is more holistic. Mayor Johnson stated the Council could set a timeframe for a report back from the Building Official. Councilmember Matarrese stated the report should include an estimated date for implementation. Mayor Johnson inquired what timeframe should be set. Councilmember Matarrese stated the Building Official should have a month to conduct a review; the review should tell Council the differences between the State's standards and the City's standards and the target date for going from optional to mandatory. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the direction is the motion. Councilmember Matarrese responded the direction is the motion along with adoption of the resolution. Mayor Johnson stated the direction should include prioritizing new construction. Councilmember Matarrese agreed to include said direction in the motion. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether a month is adequate time. The Acting City Manager responded a month is an adequate amount of time for the Building Official to inform Council how long the full review would take; stated the full review might be completed in a month. Councilmember Matarrese stated Council should be informed if there is difference. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 11 August 5, 2008 | CityCouncil/2008-08-05.pdf |
